I am not aware of a "System" line item on the accounting for cost. Do you mean the capital put forward to construct the system? That is included in LCOE.
63.
by foxyv 4mo ago
That is not entirely correct. Typically you will see LCOE for Solar grouped with the LCOE of Solar and energy storage. EG: > Solar photovoltaic $1,327 $1,333–2,743 $31–146 12–30% > Solar PV with storage $1,748 $2,044 $53–81 20–31% h

Typically power is priced by Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) where you amortize the total cost of ownership across the total power generated to get a per kwh cost which is what most grid operators care about. After all, large scale inv

> I think you've missed that all generators have upfront cost. Why do you say this?

by foxyv 4mo ago
Solar/wind is the cheapest form of power generation by far. You just can't beat it because they don't have any fuel costs. Gas peaker plants will always make sense until we have enough grid scale batteries. They will hold on

I would feel a whole heck of a lot better about AI if we were making progress towards a society where people who work for a living won't die in poverty when there are no more jobs for them.

If you cannot be replaced, you are un-promotable. Your entire career becomes tied to a single point of failure. Then, when they replace that piece of software with a new product you have no experience elsewhere.

Considering that snipers in modern warfare were mostly used as forward recon, it makes sense that drones are replacing them.

I think the big point is that they had all the money in the world and couldn't be bothered to spend any of it on their own safety. On top of that is the fact that being a billionaire is deeply immoral.
